I've ran into some significant technical issues. When is the first update due? I will be able to get something ready by then, but it may be a bit lackluster if I can't get GPTP working, or find an iscript workaround for these issues, by then; additionally, I may not actually be able to record a gameplay video. >.>

...I don't know if I'll need to, but could I post screenshots instead of a vid, at least for the first time?

And AFAIK bouncing is pure hardcode. You need to somehow "get" a target to have useweapon hit it. Since weapons don't inherit weapons from units this is likely impossible without ASM. Better get your reverse engineering sharpened.

There's actually not too many rules in regards to the story, they just all kind of meld to one basic rule: Make up a story, if using existing lore of the respected game, then make sure it doesn't alter the lore. So, yes, that would be eligible.

Because that would mean not tying to single character, even if you are to fight with the same nation throrough the campaign, where different generals command each battle. Not to mention if you play with different nation. That would be like Total Anihilation Kingdoms campaign, which wasn't bad IMO (however the game had other issues).

And the story then it may not be original, because you would copy things from history books (you will still have to inteprete and write text by yourself). Similar thing if you want to reenact some war in a famous lore (such as Horus Heresy in WH40k for example).

Yes, but what I want to tell, would be following the exact events happened treated as very unoriginal and losing there points, because technically the creator wouldn't do something new and creative, but rather following something already archived and each person could just go to wikipedia or history sites to see the whole story?

And some question about sorting all entries. If some entry doesn't end very good, it will still qualify in this contest (possibly win if being only entry)? And there will be the complete ladder, showing position of each entry, even those who don't qualify for prizes? For example if I'm second from last I'd like to know who is last. :p
